i have done the losening the screws thing but i also only did that 2 days ago and before that i had this sim card error every couple days for the past couple weeks but i have seen other posts about it and rim is aware of the problem from what i read and a fix should be coming..

From time to time I get an error message on the top of the phone where the clock and date are saying SIM Card Rejected. I restart the device and it's fine again.

Is anyone Else Getting this?

Yes, I had the same message since the phone was first configured. I called Verizon today and they told me to slide the card out and then reinstall it. When the phone came back on it was OK and it's been OK for a few hours now. If the problem comes back again I'll repost.

While taking the Sim card out, they said DO NOT touch the metal part on the bottom of the card on the side of the card toward the middle of the phone. I could not push it out so they told me to use a tack to push with. I used a bottle opener instead.
